Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. I always cook for friends, and have this couple I love to cook for because the wife does not cook and what husband would not like 2 women waiting on him hand and foot! Lisa is my sous chef when I cook and we have so much fun. I asked them to be my guinea pigs for this recipe before I turned it in for the contest. I love anything you can eat with your fingers, and especially something that can sit around for awhile and taste just as good an hour or two after cooking it! Ingredients:
